Editorial and corrections policy

How we research, check and publish our gold and silver information, and what we do when we get something wrong.

In short

We show where our numbers come from and how we calculate them.
Every rate shows the date it was captured.
Advertisers and sponsors never change our rates.
When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the date.

Our purpose

People use our pages to make decisions about buying, selling and valuing gold and silver. That is why accuracy and honesty come before speed or traffic.

How we research

Our Pakistan gold and silver rates come from the local sarafa (bullion) market.
Guides are based on reliable references, such as standard weights, purity fractions and published market conventions.
We explain how each number is calculated. See how we update prices.

How we check

We double-check calculations, such as karat purity, tola conversions and worked examples.
We compare rates against another source before publishing them.
Every rate shows the date it was captured, and guides show when they were last reviewed.

Who writes and reviews

Our content is written by named authors, such as Tahir Subhani. Where a page covers a sensitive topic, such as zakat, we say so and advise readers to ask a qualified scholar.

Independence and advertising

Advertisers, sponsors and partners cannot pay to change our rates, our wording or our conclusions. Any sponsored content is labelled clearly and kept separate from our rates.

What we do not do

We do not give financial, investment, legal or religious advice.
We do not present indicative rates as offers to buy or sell.
We do not hide or backdate changes. See our Disclaimer.

Corrections

If you think a rate, calculation or statement is wrong, please tell us through our Contact page. Include the page, what you saw and where you saw a different figure.

We check every report against the market. If we agree, we correct the page as soon as we can and note the date of the change. If we do not agree, we will explain why.
